Illuminati (3rd Degree)

Maybe its time to pull out the old copy of The Doors song, The End. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeMlQEWEg2Q&t=128s

Trump has succeeded in ramping up the American Empire demise more so than any other president. Though we've been working on it for quite some time. Our economic doctrine and our foreign policy via the military industrial complex is all coming together as a loose wheel coming off the axle.
The ongoing tariff conundrum Trump touts towards reclaiming our greatness. Is nothing more than like a mafioso shakedown with the rest of the world. Even our own closest trading partners and allies.

Trump claimed the recent Japanese trade deal is one of the biggest ever made! But as Michael Hudson and Richard Wolff point out. Japan's concession to allow our marketing our products in their country will be a resounding flop. Take for instance our cars. They're too big for Japan's roads and tastes. Our agricultural introduction of American rice into their market will amount to bags of rice sitting on store shelves. Japanese are too finicky to accept our homogenized product.

What little else we have to offer the world, including our military weapons that we can't build at a rate to be replenished after being destroyed or used in vain to down incoming missiles will all contribute to our dollar decline and our inflation worsening.

We've dug a deep trench from which to cope in this world that has changed drastically in the last 10 years. Our leaders are in a profound mind warp of denial to the reality of our county's internal and external affairs.

As Richard Wolff gives for an analogy to our flailing attempts to stave off decrepitude. Like a drowning person thrashing in the water before drowning. Countries of the world will eventually un-align with our vain attempts to retain our superiority. And they'll act in their own interests out of demand by their own people's. The economies of the East are the ones to go to.
